Are you practicing as an inferior, submissive Acupuncturist - relying on or accepting another practitioner’s diagnosis in determining how you can treat your patient?
Are you relying on a diagnosis from a chiropractor, a radiologist, a PT, or the a PCP? You may be disempowering yourself and practicing with a lack of confidence. These lead to subpar care for your patients.
Don’t take anything any other practitioner says as gospel, including a diagnosis for YOUR patient’s MSK/pain problem.
Information obtained from another practitioner/healthcare provider may be relevant in some regards, but it should NEVER guide your treatment. YOU are the one who assesses and determines what the patient needs. Not anyone else. When you treat based on a “diagnosis” the patient walks in with, that takes away from your care. YOU determine the best course of care using your tools/skills/knowledge.
Want to get strong assessment and diagnostic skills to more confidently treat your patients? Want to get better results in less time? You’re in the right place on the Locals community!

Anthony chronicled his 51-patient day.
No matter how many patients you want to see, how many days a week you want to work, whatever your goals are...EXSTORE™ gives you the ability to see more patients in less time while getting even better results.
You can see as many patients as you want if you learn the Exstore system to the level that you master it. And the best way to master it is come to the clinical intensive this October. There’s two spots left and there’s nothing that can replace this intensive learning experience . You will treat over 60 patients in two days. There’s nothing else like it and no other instructor anywhere in the world is offering anything close to this.

I have a patient who had a spinal stroke at C3-4. He has numbness and tingling through his left arm and leg, weakness in left glutes. I have done upper and lower perfusion treatment on him twice a week for the last 3 mos. He has had some improvement. Should I also be doing any local channel points, scalp points? Anything else other than perfusion?
There are 2 seats left in my Clinical Intensive this Oct 3-4 at my office. Read the outline and register here:https://aseseminars.com/event/clinical-intensive-training-course-at-dr-lombardis-clinic-in-hamilton-ontario-2/
